Louis Vuitton now has a complete set of stores across London’s Heathrow Airport, having just opened in Terminal 2.
Adding to its locations in Terminals 3, 4 and 5 (T1 no longer exists) the T2 store is located by Gate A17. Open seven days a week (05;30-22:00), the new space also includes its Le Café Cyril Lignac, the first in the UK, and is open to the public on a walk-in basis only.
Store items are mostly from the Louis Vuitton’s womenswear collection, with a smaller selection of men’s accessories and leather goods available.
Both café and store are connected and stand under a curved, aerodynamic façade designed in collaboration with architect Marc Fornes.
Within the structure there are accents of orange and gold tones, and colourful Quetzal Mobiles (hanging models of South American birds) crated by Atelier Oï.
The new Heathrow store and cafe joins Louis Vuitton’s hospitality portfolio, which currently has more than 20 restaurants, cafes, chocolate shops and airport lounges around the world.
The latest Vuitton stores shares space across the airport with a host of high-end brands vying for international travellers although the lack of tax-free shopping in Britain continues to dent performance compared with major rival travel hubs including Paris and Milan.
